Climategate

I've been elsewhere, but now I'm here

Somethings are never really lost, like this page...I always knew it was out there waiting for me to return.

Not that I'm returning...

Life under the Snowbelt

So much for global warming; or climate change as those in house of flawed science and selectively reviewing data are now calling it to cover what weather does…change.

Here in West Michigan, we’re having blizzard like conditions; it’s February, I expect this type of weather. And in four months when its 95, I won’t be shocked either, it happens in summer.

Oh K

Now I've seen everything !

Interesting Vase

This is what I did yesterday, I did have a bit of a head start on it though. Making one of these is a involved process, this one turned out nice. It will be a gift.

If you really want one leave me a comment with contact info and I may make one for you too.

I don't know what is about google search on the word Charades, but I get hits on this every day.

Speaking of Craigslist

I mentioned a response on my car for sale, well here's the reply to my 1st reply:

thanks for your response. I am okay with the price and the conditions. I would have come to check it out, but it's just that i am a very busy person and i am out of state for now. I would make Payment to you via Certified Cashiers check and i understand it must clear your bank before you release item to me. I will also be responsible for the pick up and shipping. So, all you will do as soon as you get the payment check is to get it cashed, deduct your money for the item and send the rest to my shipper whose name and address will be enclosed in the envelope of the check, so that they can come for the pick up at your residence.
Hope i can trust you with my money? cos i dont wanna be scammed again.
If this is okay with you, please get back to me with your....
Names, full contact address(city,state and zipcode) and your phone Number.
Do get back to me asap so that i can issue out the payment check to you via UPS next day delivery. kindly remove the item from site so that no one will contact you for it.
Regards.

And being the smart a** I am here's what I wrote back:

Hey Deb,

There's a problem, see I'm on the run from the law. So I have to keep a low profile so I can't go into banks or anyplace with camera's where the FBI might see me. This would have to be a in person deal, I'm very familiar with dealing with large sums of money and contraband and am always well armed, so as to insure a deal goes off without a hitch, well except for that last one, but he drew first. Anyhow I'm really anxious to unload this car the upholstery is freshly clean and there's also a new passenger window, so I hope you’re not just yanking my chain.

Fall back

Tomorrow I will fall back into the rut of working out in the morning before work. I’ve taken off a month due to a vacation and starting a new position at work.

Craigslist

I really like Craigslist classifieds, I've made three sales over the last 30 days. No fees, no hassle. I would have not likely ever been able to make those sales on ebay. I've got a car up for sale right now and have gotten a response already.

Yes, I still come here

Someone has to. I've been busy, haven't we all heard that excuse before. Most of November I was hunting and now at work I've been promoted to manager, but luckily, I still get to keep all my engineering responsibilities, yes that was sarcasm. Overall it's been a smooth transition.

Hiatus

I'm out of the office until the 26th. I hope to, among other things put some venison in the freezer.

Weekend

TGIF

The week went well, was able to get quite a bit of work done. Today I picked up a new wheel bearing and axle for my Accord. With any luck I can get it back together this weekend.

The day after Hump Day

Not to much going on, my back is getting better, worked out this morning, no more sharp pains. Glad tomorrows Friday. I spent this evening tearing apart the drivers side, front end of my Honda. Needs new axles, ball joints, and at least a new wheel bearing on the side I've got apart. I really do enjoy working on cars, especially when I can take my time.

Oh!!! my aching back!

Everything was fine until I moved from my chair this morning, like a sword through my lower back. As of now I can't really tell if its getting better, I don't think the three hour design review meeting this afternoon helped. I normally don't get sick or have pains like this, I lifted at the gym this morning and can't really remember doing anything to hurt my back. The only way this may have happened is when I was doing sets of fly's, I normally sit up at the end of the set and set the dumbbells in front of me; today, once I just set the weights down to my sides while still laying on the bench I think thats what did it.

This weekend

Instead of hunting like I should have been doing, I've been playing domestic God all weekend. Today's chore was to fix a damaged chair. Before and......

After, better then new. Yesterday it was a tear out and rebuild of the commode, but I'll spare you the pictures of that.
